Another International Airline Pulls Out of Darwin
IT’S a case of half a step forward and three steps back with today’s news that yet another international airline is planning to withdraw its services from Darwin.
This is the third international airline this year to say Darwin is an unsustainable market. Philippine Airlines’ reasons for planning to leave are no different to Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia.
The low yields are unprofitable, and business demands that their focus should be on higher yield destinations Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
